There are much better alternatives to the @GreaterCambs (GCP) proposal to build an expensive bus road for the #CSET South East Transport corridor. Compromise plan by @BetterBusways and #Haverhill rail reopening proposal by #Railfuture https://t.co/UekXHmucps

The former bridge height was insufficient, so that would have to be increased
Network Rail's light rail team have identified Tram-Train as an option for both the #Wisbech and #Haverhill line re-openings. #Railfuture Tram-Train presentation and #Haverhill Restoring Your Railway Fund bid here https://t.co/dbuElGwy68
Please will all those promoting electric vehicles promote maximum shift from car to walk/bike/bus and maximum traffic reduction? EVs still cause congestion+pollution. Car tyres produce vastly more particle pollution than exhausts, tests show https://t.co/KltzgwZLTd
@ACarpenDigital@CBG_Connect@RailfutureEA@CambCityST The tunnel is nothing new. It was proposed many moons ago. However, should the tunnel happen, we would sincerely hope that it would be 'future proof' & not built to the restricted bore as originally envisaged.
@ACarpenDigital@SmarterCam@GemmaGardnerCI On day we learn an opening ceremony for Olympics can cost £50 million, over in ~hours… @RailHaverhill is for the long haul.
